Compared with the old king, Su Xiao's attention was focused more on the throne beneath the old king.
"Beneath the throne."
The old king suddenly spoke, saying something shocking.
"You're curious about what's beneath the throne."
The old king stared directly at Su Xiao. That gaze was definitely not one a dying man should have.
"The High Priest and Karen Galette both knew there was a secret beneath the throne, but they didn't know exactly what was there. They died in front of you, so if nothing unexpected happened, they would have revealed some secrets before their deaths."
The old king patted the armrest of the throne. His body leaned back against it as he felt its uneven texture.
"Iron Hand, what are you looking for beneath the throne? There's nothing there that you desire."
The council chamber fell deathly silent.
"A key."
At this point, Su Xiao was also prepared to have a talk with the old king. He still didn't know exactly what was beneath the throne, but judging from the old king's tone, the other party didn't seem to object too much to the existence beneath it.
"A key?"
The old king was startled, then thought of something. "The key is on the first level. You do indeed need that thing. After all, you inherited the power of the Guardians."
There was no way to conceal Su Xiao's identity as the Shadow of Law Destruction. If the old king couldn't discover that, he wouldn't have been able to decipher the assassination meticulously arranged by the Undead race.
The old man appeared to be dying, but in reality, his mind was as clear as a mirror.
"So the thing you're pursuing is still power. That puts my mind at ease. I originally thought you were after that thing.
